Product Summary

The Safari Classics line from CZ-USA features the CZ single set trigger system set up to your specifications gloss blue finish on metal parts, #1 Fancy grade American Walnut stock with dual crossbolts and straight comb, glass bedded to the individual action, and a barrel band sling mount.

This modern rifle brings new life to the .500 Jeffery cartridge. Hand loads can push a 600gr bullet over 2400 fps exceeding even the power of a .460 Weatherby.

I recently hunted elephant in Zimbabwe and used this caliber on two elephants. One head shot through very heavy brush the missed the brain but the elephant went down anyway and another elephant at 100 yards with a heart shot that knocked the 8,000 lbs beast off his feet.

The rifle has excellent express sights with build in scope base. But I recommend caution if you intend to use a scope. Be sure you have plenty of eye relieve and hold on tight.

The rifles chambered in .500 Jeffery include a mercury recoil reducer installed in the stock as well.

CZ 550 embodies aesthetic elegance and ergonomic design. On closer inspection the heart of the machine shows its time honored features.

- Mauser style claw extractor
- Square bridge receiver
- Hammer forged barrel
- Single set trigger

The CZ 550 has a positive 2-position safety. All CZ 550's feature a classic square bridge receiver with a 19mm dovetail milled right into the receiver for the mounting of optics. For accuracy and long life these rifles are fitted with hammer forged barrels.

Caliber Dictionary

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 500 Jeffery was introduced in Germany as the 12.7X70mm Schuler in 1910. The British firm of W.J. Jeffery "Anglicized" it as the 500 Jeffery, which is what it was usually called. Propelling 535-grain .510-inch bullet at 2400 fps, it is one of the most powerful sporting cartridges, but with its rebated rim and 2.750-inch case it can be housed in a standard (375 H&H-length) bolt action. In its day the 500 Jeffery was actually a rare cartridge; it is believed that Jeffery made just 26 rifles in that chambering. Today, with new factory ammo and brass available, it is more common than ever--but probably more powerful than necessary for even the largest game. The most famous original 500 Jeffery rifle was probably Fletcher Jamieson's, figured heavily in John Taylor's "African Rifles and Cartridges." Craig Boddington shot a buffalo with that rifle; effects were dramatic...but so is the recoil. — Craig Boddington
